Pepper flowers and cucumber pictures
|
|
was in the garden yesterday and took a couple of pictures.
pepper flowers look so nice. i brushed past them and found huge amounts of pollen left on the leaves and my jeans. this is a picture of my best plant. my other three have been savaged by slugs and snails. im loosing the battle against these slimey critters.
look at my prize cucumbers here in the attachments. i planted three cucumber seeds back in april/may. after advice from my father i topped these cucumbers and found that it was the wrong idea. these things love too climb and as of my own fault my cucumbers are now ground dwellers lol. the larges cumber is on the oldest plant and the group of cumbers is on the youngest plant.
Next year i plan on two cucumber plants and allowthem too grow too the high of the greenhouse i may even plant them outside. slugs and snails have somewhat not taken too my cucumbers. and haveleft my tomato's alone too. another good note i now have tomato's forming from pollenated flowers hopefuly i will have a good bumper crop.
Roma tomato's: i dont like these determinate plants to be honnest. at 8 inches high they are already forming flowers. i am very unsure if i should let them flower now or pinch out and if i do will they reach maturity in time before winter
on a sad note i have lost my friend the robin. it has been nearly 4 weeks now i havent seen him. he would visit everyday for freebies i would lay out for him. maybe he will be back in the fall, fingers crossed.
